Zoologist: Horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light, which reflects off large, dark animals that they bite. This

may explain why zebras evolved vertical stripes—the stripes cancel the horizontal polarization of light and thus make zebras less attractive to horseflies.
In order to assess the plausibility of the zoologist's hypothesis, it would be most helpful to know whether
A. any insects other than horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light.
B. the vertical stripes on zebras make it easier for any insects other than horseflies to see them.
C. animals that horseflies commonly bite have evolved other means of reducing the impact an frequency of those bites.
D. any biting insects other than horseflies are strongly attracted to zebras.
E. zebras' vertical stripes provide camouflage protection against certain large predators potentially very dangerous to zebras.

Answer:

D. any biting insects other than horseflies are strongly attracted to zebras.

Explanation:

In order to assess the plausibility of the zoologist's hypothesis, it would be most helpful to know whether if any other insects other than the horseflies are strongly attracted to the Zebra. If other insects are attracted to the zebra, we can then try to research and see if these other insects also show tendencies to be attracted to horizontally polarized light before we can conclude on this hypothesis. The hypotheses will hold more strongly if the same phenomenon applies to other biting insects attracted to the Zebra.

One of the effects of the hormone secretin is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate ions into the duodenum, which neutralizes
Alecsey [184]

Answer: One consequence of neutralizing the pH in the intestine is that ENZYMES THAT CATALYZE THE HYDROLYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES ARE ACTIVE.

Explanation: During digestion, partially digested food particles are transported from the stomach to the first part of the small intestines, that is, the duodenum. The food particles that are coming from the stomach are acidic due to the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This acidity has to be removed when the food particles get into the duodenum, this is because the enzymes that are needed to break down carbohydrates in the duodenum can not work in acidic medium. Thus, in order for the  pancreatic amlayse enzyme to become active and to complete the break down of carbohydrate in the duodenum, the secretin hormone has to stimulate the release of bicarbonate that will neutralize the acidic partially digested food particles from the stomach.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Potato

Explanation:

Hypertension is a condition developed due to the continuous high or elevated blood pressure in the arteries in the body. The main cause of hypertension is the contraction of the arteries and the consumption of food with a high level of sodium and low level of potassium.

It is suggested that people with hypertension should consume a diet rich in potassium but with a low amount of sodium.  The good source of food with a high level of potassium is baked potato which provides carbohydrates also, salmon, and the banana.

Since the amount of potassium is high in the baked potato, therefore, is the correct answer.
